Fuel Selector Valve

[Jhogan0101]

I emailed Mcfarlane about this , here is their response from this morning:

Hi Julian
We are going as fast as we can on fuel valves.
In fact we were talking about the 337 valves just yesterday.
I know they’ve done some work on those but I’m not sure just where they are in the process.
I did forward your e-mail to the owner of the company,(he has a 337) and the others who decide what gets priority in the way of projects.
Additionally I will make a push for it.

As you know, fuel valves are critical in function and even though they appear simple; are complex in determining fits, dimensions and tolerances. That in part is some of the reason it takes a fair bit of time to design parts for fuel valves.
Thanks for checking with us, hopefully it won’t be too much longer.

I called McFarlane after the last post. The operator reported they are keeping a spreadsheet of requests. She said my request was logged. I suspect the more requests, the more interest they have, the more likely they will jump into this valve thing for 337’s. But again confirmed they’re not doing anything for 337 valves at this time.

Wouldn’t hurt to have more requests logged from other owners...

Like anything, they’re a business and spend money on things for which there is demand. I added my two cents for demand.

I heard from QAA about my valves. They cannot work on them and could not find a shop that will work on them. They tried McFarland too, To be continued.

There also a clean 337 being parted out here in Texas by Texas Air Salvage. Late sixties model IIRC.
